madras Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 We were at a mates bbq and had the alerts on my phone, told everyone Burton had equalised and we all had a giggle, especially with Bent scoring, Then a winner and we were pissing ourselves reading out stuff from RTG. Into his conservatory to watch SSN or BBC or whichever and they said Sunderland had been relegated. "Nah they're 3 points off with a game left" for the bloke on the tele, as if in reply, to explain. "Cheers mate, think ill have another beer" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The best bit was a lot of people - I'm including media and fans - didn't immediately realise they'd been relegated at full time. I was at a big family do that night and the first person I bumped into at the bar was my cousin David, a Newcastle fan, so we had a beer and a good laugh at the makems misfortunes. His son, however, is a red and whiter and was late turning up to the meal because he'd been at the Burton match. We sat down and some time later David shouted to me "tell numb-nuts here that the makems have been relegated!" His son, a man in his thirties, had blissfully spent the last three hours or so thinking they had avoided the drop and no amount of explaining would change his mind -"nar nar, we're not down, you're just trying to wind us up". Later on he looked at his phone said "bugger" and he and his lass flounced out - I've never seen him since. Beautiful. But how the fuck did he end up with a Sunlun supporting son?

Chris_R Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I must admit, when there's something I don't care about I also take the time to record a video saying how little I care about it, and then upload it to YouTube. I always feel that's one of the best ways to demonstrate my indifference for a subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 From Rtg... "On the Newcastle takeover it’ll be interesting to see the views of women. Will any women be in senior positions at the club ? What will they think even of women attending games. What will they think of the women’s football side of the club ? It’ll definitely be a shock to the system." Staveley?

Dokko Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I quite like the Don after watching STID. To be fair without him they'd have gone bust. He's come In, stabilised the club and got the fighting for trophies and top 6 in the league. He's not once had them in a relegation battle and all he gets is ungrateful fans abusing him for trying to make them better. He even set the league record for a player purchase delivering on his promise of significant investment. They really need to be careful what the wish for.
